The results of these specialty labs are important because they provide us with additional information that helps us to construct more effective, individually-tailored wellness plans and help you become healthier and happier, faster.

The tests described below are just a few of lab tests that have helped many of our clients along the path of renewed health. Because we take an individualized approach with each client, we may recommend different functional medicine testing options for your specific case.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Micronutrient Status Testing” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Our micronutrient testing gives insight into your state of health by measuring functional deficiencies at the cellular level. The test measures how well the body utilizes vitamins, minerals, amino/fatty acids, antioxidants, and metabolites. These micronutrients are the building blocks from which the body produces enzymes, hormones, and other substances essential for proper growth, development, and good health. This test provides the basis of a personalized, functional medicine approach in addressing a broad variety of clinical conditions including arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular risk, diabetes, various immunological disorders, metabolic disorders, and micronutrient deficiencies.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Digestion and Stool Analysis” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The comprehensive stool analysis provides valuable information regarding digestion and absorption status, as well as the presence and types of bacteria, yeast, and parasites in the gastrointestinal tract. It also provides information regarding beneficial bacteria, intestinal immune function, and signs of gastrointestinal inflammation and metabolic dysfunction. It can be useful in cases of digestive disorders, suspected dysbiosis, brain fog, behavioral problems, and learning difficulties.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Metabolic Testing for Developmental and Mental Health Conditions” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]This test looks at a metabolic snapshot of your body by evaluating intestinal yeast and bacteria, metabolites of various neurotransmitters, and more. This is important because research is showing that abnormally high levels of certain microorganisms and their metabolites can cause or worsen behavioral disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and immune dysfunction. This test also provides valuable information regarding vitamin and mineral status and oxidative stress as well as valuable information regarding autism spectrum disorders, other developmental disorders, and many other mental health conditions.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Adrenal Function Testing” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]The adrenal stress index provides valuable information for individuals who seem to have low tolerance to stress, as well as those who have a difficult time waking in the morning, feel that they have low energy during the day, have a difficult time falling asleep or staying asleep at night, have symptoms of poor blood sugar regulation, have unexplained cravings, struggle with obesity, and more. It may also provide valuable information for individuals who struggle with depression and with attention-deficit disorder.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Male and Female Hormone Testing” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Our male and female hormone panel evaluates adrenal and sex hormone levels and can detect problems with weight gain; impaired memory; insomnia; digestion; blood pressure; cravings; low libido, infertility, and other sexual dysfunction; immune system problems; symptoms related to pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS), menstruation, menopause, and peri-menopause; uterine fibroids; and more.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Genetic Testing” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]We provide access to genetic tests that provide information regarding your risk for various mental and physical health concerns, as well as information regarding how your body processes psychotropic medication. These tests identify genetic markers that are specific to each individual. These genetic markers may provide you with information regarding which treatments are likely to work as intended, which are not likely to have the expected effect, and which are likely to cause adverse or unwanted side effects. The tests are typically used to guide treatment for a range of psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), bipolar disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), autism, schizophrenia, and substance abuse.

We also provide access to genetic tests that look at a group of key genes that may uncover potential genetic susceptibility to autism spectrum disorder and other developmental issues, neurodegenerative disorders, and mood disorders. Alterations in these genes may affect your body’s ability to clear potentially harmful substances (commonly referred to as detox) and may lead to increased oxidative stress. Understanding your genetic profile as it relates to these specific genes can provide valuable information regarding contributing factors to your current state of health and provide you with the knowledge required to give your body what it needs to help you experience improved health.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Additional Testing” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]

We also provide access to advanced testing for autoimmune disease; specialty tests to evaluate for heavy metal toxicity, mold/biotoxin illness, hereditary cancer risk, and other genetic abnormalities; and more.
